Event Calendar

Pop-ups, short term courses that bring unfolding events into the classroom, have been announced.

Combined Men's and Women's classes. Open to Bennington College students, faculty and staff.

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC | The Problem with (and Solution to) Voluntourism: Privilege, Power, and the Place of the Volunteer in an Increasingly Globalized World.

Wanting to help is great, and wanting to change the world is admirable, but what if the ways in which you're trying to help are actually causing harm? Writer Pippa Biddle and nonprofit Founder Jacob Taddy invite students to join them in exploring the flaws in how we are giving back and how we can create real change through truly meaningful travel.

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC | Current visiting faculty member, Justin Vasselli, will give a talk entitled "Intelligent Language Tutors". Justin's candidate presentation will serve as this week's Science Workshop, please note change to day/time.

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC | Gloria Post will speak at 7:00 PM in CAPA as part of the Understanding PFOA series.

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC | The Earth is unexpectedly destroyed and the great Hitch-Hike begins.. Join the Bennington Readers Theatre Ensemble for Babel Fish treats and Gargle Blaster refreshments as we attempt to uncover the Meaning of Life (hint...not #41)

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC | Critical Conversations in Society, Culture, and Thought: Truth & Lies (SCT 2106) presents a lecture series to accompany the class. This week Dr. Rebecca Bamford from Quinnipiac University will give the lecture.

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC | These discussions are aimed at understanding masculinity from a male-identified perspective. In addition to exploring the connections between masculinity and themes of violence and power, this will also be a space for introspection on how concepts and expectations of 'manliness' and 'masculinity' shape our relationships, aspirations, fears, achievements, and identity. As the term progresses, we will discuss shared readings and host film screenings on these topics.
